Laws - Hold You Down
Producer: DJ Khalil
Album: 4:57PM Mixtape
Label: J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League/Asylum/Warner Bros
A little over a week ago, I was remarking on the fresh-nicities of Laws via his single, We Like It. Seven days after his exclusive DJBooth-released mixtape 4:57PM dropped, I can safely extend my comments to the entire tracklist. While each piece of the album fulfills its role, one of the most impressive cuts I came across was Hold You Down, a high energy cut with one of the most unique and exciting boardwork contributions that I’ve heard in a minute, thanks to DJ Khalil’s serious synth skills. If anyone has doubts about Laws (unlikely for Booth-ians), it clearly doesn’t affect his confidence as he makes it known that he’s destined for greatness in the music industry: “Rhymin’, only when the cameras come/ I’m the boss, M. Bison and Ganon in one”). If you liked this, be sure to check 4:57PM, available right here. Get rid of the pillow, ladies and gentlemen, Laws is definitely not one to sleep on.

Rotation. The hooks the best part.

This has borderline club appeal, which for an artist who has an insane growing buzz, is trouble for the rest of the industry!
PS. DJ Khalil could fart a dope beat, agreed?

Production blew me away! I'm not a fan of the hook, but the production more than makes up for any microscopic flaws. Another Laws hit!

Great performance from Laws here and I really enjoyed the production as well. He had me at the Street Fighter and Legend of Zelda references in the beginning, haha.

Hook lags behind verses major, has a nice flow but best song off 4:57 is Want It All

yeah i hear the marshall in the flow- i agree kidd, it works for him. he certainly has a nice flow to him and khalil has impressed of most his beats recently. missing one element though- a good hook. if it was better wouldle elevated this to banger- gotta throw it in rotation for now

If someone had never heard before Laws before, I'd just play them this and rest knowing at the very least they'd be like, "who is this dude?" On his debut album they'll get him some help on the hooks and we'll be looking at one of the best albums of the year. My prediction anyway.

This track lacks some originality on here, and to me its sounds like Laws got a real lazy flow on this track and the hook isn't anything worth mentioning.

Song is on-point when it comes to rhymes but also comes equipped with a hook that partly ruins the listening experience. 2.5

If the DJ Booth had a "Freshman" List Laws would be one of the first inclusions...one of the many bangers from this must download.
